In the women’s sprint medley relay, the quartet of Brianna Wilson, Allecia Johnson, Dawes and Abbigail Hutchinson finished second, winning their heat before getting overtaken by Loras for gold.

The Tritons had a time of 4:03.59, as Loras went 4:01.33. Hutchinson was also fourth in the Steeplechase on Thursday.
